Advanced Massage

Specialised treatments using techniques to relieve specific conditions. Each treatment is tailored to the clients requirements and can include trigger point therapy which entails using deep pressure on specific points, heat and ice application to relieve pain and muscle energy techniques where client and therapist work together to maximise the movement range of the muscle.

Remedial Deep Tissue Massage

A more intensive massage treatment which is used to break down severe muscular tension and ‘knots’ which can often result from stress, excessive exercise or poor posture. Deep tissue massage is a very effective way of easing stress and tension that builds up in muscles, tendons and surrounding fascia. These areas of tension often result following a period of repetitive physical activity, but may also occur as a result of the stresses and strains of everyday life. Deep tissue massage is deeper than a Swedish massage and uses slow, intense strokes and deep finger pressure or friction to ease stiff muscles. It also helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue and usually focuses on more specific areas.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Swedish Massage is designed to improve your circulation by increasing oxygen flow in the blood, soothe your muscles and make you more relaxed. Alongside these calming benefits, it can also ease muscular strain by flushing out toxins, help to keep joints flexible ,ligaments & tendons supple, stimulate the nervous system, improve muscle tone and reduce emotional & physical stress.

Suitable for fitness enthusiasts and athletes wanting to maintain suppleness and flexibility, vital for injury prevention, and to enhance sporting performance as well as for general relaxation and therapeutic purposes.

The treatment requires a blend of light and deep strokes of varying depth and pressure to enhance your body's natural functioning. Long gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and active/passive movements of the muscles to reduce tension, alleviate muscle soreness, and improve your overall energy.
